Reflections on love and friendship - Anam Cara

In his book Anam Cara, author John O'Donohue writes of love and friendship. In the old Celtic church, i.e. Celtic spirituality/paganism, he tells us of one who acted as "teacher, companion, or spiritual guide. Anam, the Gaelic word for soul and cara, friend.

"Friendship is the nature of God," O'Donohue writes. "The Christian concept of God as Trinity is the most sublime articulation of otherness and intimacy, an eternal interflow of friendship."

I would love to quote the entire book but I must ask you to read it for yourself. Do it in 2010 when all is quiet within and without.

House Bill 1388 Passed Behind Our Backs - The Fox is in the Hen House

By Jim West, www.cuyahogavalleygop.com/

Whether you are an Obama fan, or not, EVERYONE IN THE U S. needs to know....

Something happened.... H.R. 1388 was passed, behind our backs. You may want to read about it.. It wasn't mentioned on the news... just went by on the ticker tape at the bottom of the CNN
screen.

Obama funds $20M in tax payer dollars to immigrate Hamas Refugees to the USA . This is the news that didn't make the headlines...

By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in "migration assistance" to the Palestinian refugees and "conflict victims" in Gaza .

The "presidential determination", which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States , was signed and appears in the Federal Register.

Few on Capitol Hill, or in the media, took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.

Let's review....itemized list of some of Barack Obama ' s most recent actions since his inauguration:

His first call to any head of state, as president, was to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory.

His first one-on-one television interview with any news organization was with Al Arabia television.

His first executive order was to fund/facilitate abortion(s) not just here within the U. S. , but within the world, using U. S. tax payer funds.

He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees halted.

He ordered overseas CIA interrogation centers closed.

He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and the "terror attack" on 9/11.

Now we learn that he is allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to, and live in, the US at American taxpayer expense.

These important, and insightful, issues are being "lost" in the blinding bail-outs and "stimulation" packages.

Doubtful? To verify this for yourself: www.thefederalregister.com/d.p/2009-02-04-E9-2488

HB1388 also takes strong steps in the direction of organizing the "Obama Youth Corp"

WE are losing this country at a rapid pace.

An attempt to control the Internet

by

JC Sullivan

Senator Jay Rockefeller, at a confirmation hearing of Gary Locke for Commerce Secretary, said “It really almost makes you ask the question would it have been better if we had never invented the Internet.” He said a figure of three million cyber "attacks" are launched against the Department of Defense every day.

According to Kurt Nim, writing in Infowars, Jay Rockefeller’s comments "reveal an astounding degree of ignorance – or if not ignorance, outright propaganda. Since the September 11, 2001, attacks the government has cranked up the fear quotient in regard to cyber attacks and so-called cyber terrorism, a virtually non-existent threat except in the minds of security experts and politicians. In the years since the attacks, not one real instance of real cyberterrorism has been recorded."

Through Sullivan's Eye forsees what is being attempted - with aiding and abetting by Russia and the so-called United Nations, control of our Internet.

The Obama administration, through a proposal by Senators Jay Rockefeller (D-W.V.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), is trying to set the groundwork the creation of an Office of the National Cybersecurity Advisor, to be part of the Executive Office of the President. Under the proposal, that office "would have the power to disconnect what they would call cyberattacks from , if it believes they’re at risk of a cyberattack, ‘critical’ computer networks from the Internet.” As well, the effort would put the White House National Cybersecurity Advisor in charge of coordinating cyber efforts within the intelligence community and within civilian agencies. That also means our military defense networks.

From the notoriously left New York Times, the Cleveland Plain Dealer (December 13, 2009 U.S. talks on Internet security) reprinted that "The United States has begun talks with Russia and a United Nations arms control committee about strengthening Internet security and limiting military use of cyberspace." Can you believe it?

My fellow Americans, with the Left already in control of the major American television networks and major city newspapers, there remain fewer and fewer outlets for freedom of expression without state control or 'spin', just like it is in communist and imperial nations like Russia.

The Internet exists because of private enterprise and freedom. We must guard against these unveiled attempts against our hard-fought freedoms. Are you listening my independent and moderate friends?

Cleveland Browns, 2009

In defeating the Steelers this week, it appears to this writer that the "Break A Leg" philosophy has been finally allowed to emerge - the understudy waiting in the wings for the "star" to become disabled (remember Barbra Streisand.

I trust Browns Coach Mangini et al have seen the light. Despite their focused plans thus far, have they have finally thrown out what doesn't work and begun to go with what DOES work - using energetic, hungry understudies.

I'm reminded of my Business Law Professor at Cleveland State, Allan Goodman. While working his way through college/law school, he sold computers for the Burroughs Corp. He thought he had a client sold when he was shocked to learn the client bought from another computer company. When he asked the Purchasing Agent why, he was told, "If I bought Burroughs, and it didn't work, I would lose my job. But if I bought IBM (the #1 computer maker at the time), and it didn't work, I could say 'But I bought IBM'"

That's the philiosophy Mangini and Manners Big Boy, oops scuze me, Romeo Crennel, have been following - "But I'm using the highly paid guys."

The prima donnas (IBM) on the Browns are now either out or gone, what a relief. Let's hope the understudies (Burroughs) continue to perform like they did against the Steelers.
